Key Takeaways:
- Liverpool have reportedly grown frustrated with Juventus for attempting to negotiate a minimal fee for Alisson Becker ahead of the summer transfer window
- Juventus are targeting Liverpool’s Alisson, whom coach Luciano Spalletti knows well from their spell at Roma, and may even be considering acquiring him for free
- Calciomercato.com reported that Juventus may switch focus to David De Gea of Fiorentina as a cheaper alternative if negotiations with Liverpool stall
Transfer Negotiations Intensify
Liverpool are reportedly becoming increasingly exasperated with Juventus over ongoing discussions regarding a potential transfer for goalkeeper Alisson Becker. The Italian club, looking to overhaul their goalkeeping options this summer, have made Alisson a priority target, particularly given his previous working relationship with head coach Luciano Spalletti during their time together at Roma.
Earlier reports this week suggested Alisson had given his consent to a possible move to Juventus at the conclusion of the 2025-26 campaign. The Brazilian international currently remains under contract at Anfield until the summer of 2027, after Liverpool activated a twelve-month extension clause in his contract. The club has a direct replacement in Giorgi Mamardashvili, who was signed during the 2024 summer window and will officially join the squad from Valencia in the summer of 2025.

Fee Dispute and Juventus Alternatives
According to Italian sources, Liverpool are seeking to recoup a fee in the region of €15m for Alisson, who will be 33 and entering the final year of his contract this coming summer. However, reports from Calciomercato.com indicate that Juventus are pushing for a reduction in the proposed transfer amount, and may even be attempting to eliminate the fee entirely – a tactic that has reportedly angered the Merseyside club.
With negotiations at an impasse, Juventus could reconsider their options and may instead target David De Gea of Fiorentina, formerly of Manchester United, who represents a potentially more cost-effective alternative.
Implications for Liverpool’s Goalkeeping Department
Should Alisson’s transfer materialise, Liverpool would be poised to elevate Giorgi Mamardashvili as his successor between the posts. While negotiations continue, it remains to be seen whether Juventus will meet Liverpool’s asking price or divert their attention to alternative targets in their pursuit of fresh goalkeeping talent.
